Green Street Station is on the Orange Line. Not a very busy station but it is fully handicapped…read moreaccessible and that's awesome. There are escalators and stairs and an elevator from the platform level to the street/ticketing level. The station features visual and audible announcements of the next train in both directions, which is helpful. There are automated ticket machines for adding value or purchasing a Charlie Ticket. When I was here, there was also a red shirted "Can I Help You?" staffer to answer questions. Located between Forest Hills (outbound, the terminus of the line) and Stony Brook (inbound), Green Street is an island platform so the train doors will open on the left.

Green Street station has been good to me…read more Seeing as this is the first stop after a terminal station, the inbound trains are always on time and that right there makes for a positive experience. Not having to hear the PA system announce: "experiencing slight delays due to police action at such and such a station" while waiting for the train to work in the morning gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling all over. It is actually a very clean station inside too. We won't talk about the tracks further down past the platform - you could build a house with the amount of garbage gathered there - but there are trash and recycling bins a plenty, so there is really no need to drop your junk anywhere but in the basura. There is almost always an attendant manning the station. There is an elevator for handicapped citizens or mom's with strollers. Location is great, it empties you out within walking distance to the Arboretum, Jamaica Pond, the Brewery complex (although Stony is closer) and Doyles. I just can't find anything bad to say about this station - except - the hoards of English High School students who swarm the platform every afternoon from 2-3 pm. They are loud, rude and obnoxious. Model citizens in the making, if I may. Maybe I'm just bitter because I have to wait and ride with these heathens three days out of the week...if I only saw them once and a while, I probably wouldn't even mention it. But they ruin my ride into work. You can't hear your iPod. You can't concentrate on a book. You can't hear yourself think in between the hooting, screeching and swearing emitted from these unruly creatures. So I pretty much sit there, brewing, watching and listening to them, because I have no choice. Which is why I'm not a teacher at an inner city high school. Point in case. Otherwise, Green is the queen of the Orange Line!

Extending the Red Line by 2.5 miles, the "M" Line is a streetcar/trolley that runs from Ashmont,…read morewhere it connects to the Red Line, to Mattapan, where there is a small loop and the trolleys cycle back to Ashmont. The full run takes about 9 minutes from end to end and stops through a handful of small stations. The line runs on PCC Streetcar stock, which was previously used by the Green Line. The cars were built by Pullman-Standard in 1945-1946 and have been in continuous service in Boston since their construction although they were rebuilt a couple of times since then. The cars are the very definition of "cute." There is seating and straps. All stations except Valley Road have been retrofitted with lifts or wheelchair ramps. All stations are above ground and have minimal services but still better than the outer stops of the Green Line. There are markings, some cover from the elements and announcements of the next train in either direction. If you are boarding at Ashmont, the transfer from the Red Line is free. As is the transfer from the M Line to the Red Line. If you're boarding the M Line from any other station, there is the usual fare.

Want to experience public transportation like it was in the 1950s? There's a place in Boston where…read moreyou can still do that - the Mattapan "high speed rail" line from Ashmont to Mattapan. Take the Red Line to the end of the Ashmont line and hop on the vintage orange trolleys on a short ride over to Mattapan. At the end of the line you can view a few other trolleys that were damaged in a collision from a few years ago. Unlike other trains, the trolley stops at request at the various stations along the way.

I want to give the 111 more stars but riding this route makes me cringe depending on the time of…read morethe day. If you travel at particular times the bus is packed, the passengers are a nightmare and the drivers are so strapped for time that they haul around Chelsea which makes the ride uncomfortable. That being said, the route is so convenient to my wife's family home in Chelsea which makes it perfect for traveling to the North End.

Ah what can I say about the 111 bus? I take this bus twice a day, to and from work…read more Pro's Schedule - This route is great for timing. Unlike many buses that can have a 15-20 minute (or more) wait time between buses. The 111 runs every 5 minutes or less during rush, 7-12mins mid-day, 10-15 minutes late evening or off peak. This means you won't wait for one to call at all. (Sunday, however, can be a bit slow). This is also one of the few buses that starts and ends outside of normal operating hours for the T. The first bus leaves Woodlawn at 4:50am, and Haymarket at 5:15am. The last bus leaves at 1:30am (waits for last train). So it's always there when you need it. Frequency - As I said before, this bus route has a very high frequency associated with it. No waiting. 111C - There is one variant of this route called the 111C, which, instead of going all the way to Woodlawn and turning around. The 111C turns around at Cary Square (just north of Bellingham Square), and does a return trip. Key Bus Route Project - The MBTA this year (2013) announced that they will be doing major improvements to the 111 bus. Relocation of stops, 60' articulate buses, and using such things as ITS and GPS tracking to monitor and adjust when the bus is late/early. (Yes I consider this project a good thing, as it will greatly improve service) Con's Popularity - Since this is identified by the MBTA as a "Key Bus Route", it has VERY high ridership. During rush hour, they just can't seem to run enough of them to accommodate all the passengers. Many buses are packed like Sardines in a can. I often will use the NextBus app to see how long the next one is, because if its coming in a minute or two, why wait and stand on a crowded bus when another one will be along shortly. Schedule - This is a con also. Because it is so popular, this route often has many delays. I've stopped looking at the schedule and solely relying on NextBus, as the schedule is typically wrong, and NextBus is more accurate. Overcrowding - This is a big deal on this route. As I said above, they just cannot run enough buses and/or keep them on to the schedule. Some afternoons when I get to Haymarket to catch it, the platform is so full of people waiting to get on. Tobin Bridge - This is the big downfall of this bus. In no traffic, a ride from Bellingham Square to Haymarket can take less than 10 minutes. But because of the bridge painting they are doing on the Tobin Bridge over the next few years, is causing traffic to back up. Now my 10 minute ride becomes a 20-25 minute ride. Patrons - Yes I have issues with many of the riders of this bus line. First off, getting ON the bus is a challenge when it picks up at Haymarket. There's so many people waiting on the platform usually, other people PUSH you onto the bus. People also will cut you in line and no one lets you have any sort of personal space. And then of course the whole stroller issue. On the 111 bus, there can be as many as 4-6 strollers on one bus (if their's room). They fold up the seats, and block aisles so no one can get on or off. Its very frustrating. AND.. my typical complaints about normal T riders... body odor, too much cologne, dirty clothes, talking loud on their cell phone etc etc, all apply here. (And I think in some ways due to the high ridership on this route, it's even worse here). ---- Overall I am 'meh' about the 111 bus. However, the frequency of the bus route is great, and I can't really complain, as I've lived where the bus runs every hour on weekends... the 111 is a god send. So I'll still give it three stars.

The station is primarily built out of bricks, glass, concrete and stainless steel to compliment an aesthetically pleasing waiting experience. Alongside the structures materials, the station features displays of artwork in the atrium nearby the fare gates. The platform itself is an island platform with most of the waiting area covered by the overhang that is part of the station. There is plenty of seating space on the platform and during a rainy day the platform overhang keeps you dry. The end of the station features an amazing view of the trains rolling down the tracks towards the station. Definitely my most favorite part of this station is the end of the platform.

I e-mailed him that afternoon to confirm and called him when the plane touched down. By the time we'd cleared baggage, he was waiting for us in the limo lot.
